at the Gold Coast.

Thanks Peter, a great effort by all invloved. It is good to see the public are
so into Lego Trains, If lego Australia could only take note. It was also good to
talk to the traditional Model Railway enthusiasts and hear them say that the our
Lego Train display has a permananent place in their Model Railway Exhibition. We
have even been approached by another organiser and they want us in their next
exhibition, which is on the 17-18 September at the Gold Coast, The Gold Coast
Model Railway Exhibition. If all goes well we might even be paid for this one,
what a bonus! For love and money!!
Once again, thanks to all invloved, we didn't have as many this year but those
we did have can be proud. A truly fine effort.
Until next time indeed
Gary
